The Western Isles

On holiday I can see the light from the Western Isles Faded and white like your western smile We could live here, you know Nobody's safe Caught up in a life that's based online Struggle and strife from the nine to five We're just getting by, you know Cigarettes and black grease tea Could we feel at home? Far, far away I can hear the birds on the Western Isles Singing in the night like an ancient choir Oh, how I love you so Don't worry, baby You'll be all right with your western smile Maybe there's a life on the Western Isles In a few years or so Cigarettes and black grease tea Maybe we've been daydreaming And we're almost home We're headed for the Western Isles
